Read-out of the College meeting / press conference by European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana MÎNZATU on the Communication on the European Pillar of Social Rights

22 juillet 2026

Sommaire mis à jour le 22 juil. 2026

The moderator opens the floor and an Italian journalist asks why the College discussed security on the EU’s eastern border and created a security secretariat, as well as questions on digital identity, age verification and migration/asylum. Executive Vice-President Mînzatu explains the ongoing “security college” format, mid-year preparedness review, and details today’s decisions on two European Citizens’ Initiatives: eligibility of an age-verification/online access ECI and refusal to register an anti‑migration ECI lacking a legal basis.

Hello, can you hear me? So, I will accept Paola Pinna's suggestion to talk in our own language. I will speak in Italian. Antony Bartolomeo per RAI. Volevo chiederle qual è la ragione per cui vi siete occupati di questioni di sicurezza del confine orientale dell'Unione Europea, se c'è una ragione che ci può dire per la quale avete affrontato questo argomento nel collegio e il motivo per cui avete instaurato questo segretariato.

Prima domanda, e poi qualcosa in più se ci può dire qualcosa in più sull'identità digitale, la verifica dell'età e l'immigrazione asilo, quelle quelle due cose che ha citato. Grazie.

Yes, security colleges we have had before. It is not the first time that we discuss the situation in Ukraine and the situation in the eastern border. There is a dynamics of course and that determines also how often we reconvene and discuss evolutions. And it's also a situation where of course we are now in July and we want to assess mid-year where we stand and it's a question also of preparedness. So, it's not the first time that in security college we have had this kind of debate, but it's always new data, it's always new dimensions that we approach.
